The vet said it was tapeworms, but I'll check out that website! The vet thinks that it may have been a flea because of the scratching/hair loss between his shoulder blades. Okay I might just suck it up and pay for the revolution plus since it covers so many things! Thank you for your response.

Hi everyone! Blaze had his two-week checkup today and it wasn't great news. Last night, I found what looked like little grains of rice on my bed where he had been laying which I then figured out was worms. His scratching wasn't getting better and it was getting worse. We went to the vet this...

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I still have little bouts of anxiety and wonder if I'm doing it right or giving him the best life. But getting all of the advice that I have so far has been far more helpful than anything else that I could've asked for. I also just love...

@FeebysOwner It's clavamox and next time I will give it to him in a food he doesn't normally eat. I didn't even think of that, so thank you! The medicine has to be given twice a day until it's gone. Which he hasn't been scratching at that site or his ears since I put the ointment on them and...

Yes, it was the liquid antibiotic. I ended up looking up the actual medicine to see if I could administer it through food and it was safe to do that. I feed Blaze wet food at 6pm every day so I mixed it into that and he ate all of it. I didn't want to administer it through the mouth because it's...

Does anyone have any advice for giving a cat liquid medication or would it be better to mix it with a tiny bit of lickable treats? @white shadow @stephanietx

I was, but the vet recommended leaving it off because there was a smaller spot that sits right where the soft collar does. I'm home all day due to the snowy weather in Tennessee so I've been keeping an eye on him and put the ointment on them as soon as I got home and he hasn't been scratching at...

I have a couple of puzzles in the mail for him to try out so I'll definitely try that! Thank y'all for your help.

He weighs 10.3 pounds and is pretty active! He's a 5 on the feline body chart, a year old, neutered, and strictly indoors. I play with him in the morning and at night, and he loves to chase around fabric mouses on his own. Thank you for the advice on Purina! I looked into the studies before...

I took Blaze to the vet this morning and he has a slight ear infection. The vet believes that he was scratching his ears and his neck was getting the claws. They cleaned his ears and gave him a steroid shot. The vet also gave me a liquid antibiotic, a cream for the spot, and an ear solution for...

Hi everyone! I've been a little overwhelmed with trying to figure out what to feed my new cat. I currently have him on a 1/3 cup of purina pro plus one indoor advantage that is split into 4 meals at 3am, 8am, 1pm, and 11:30pm (in an automatic feeder). I also give him a can of fancy feast pate at...

Thank you for reading my first two posts! I will say that I have calmed down significantly and my anxiety has settled a good bit especailly now that his personality is coming out a little bit each day! I have a complete medical record and the vet photocopied them as well when I went! The...

Also I'm sorry if I sound crazy! I just get a little nervous and I've only had him a week and a half. I did put the soft cone back on so that should be a temporary solution to curb the scratching until I can get to the vet on Friday.

That is where the abscess was. The abscess under his eye is healed and they didn't give me any information on it besides what's on his medical sheet. He does have fur missing on his cheek because they cut the whiskers back and shaved the skin. I did have to put a soft cone on him so I can...

I think it may be allergies because I have noticed that he scratches more and has been sneezing.
